ESA TV satellite coverage Cervantes Mission

Follow the launch, docking and ingress of the Cervantes Mission live via digital satellite.

The ESA Television Service will make use of an Astra transponder as well as the "classical" Eutelsat 10-degree West transponder. You can follow the transmission from your home, provided you have a digital satellite receiver and a satellite antenna pointed to Astra. The transmission can be received on Astra with a normal consumer satellite reception equipment - provided it is able to receive digital transmissions.

On this channel, colour bars with a superimposed ESA logo will be transmitted from three days before the launch (15 October at 06:00 CET), until the start of the live launch transmission. An audio tone (1 KHz, -9 dB) will also be transmitted during this period.
